VFF wants Mr. Park Hang-seo to focus on AFF Cup 2022

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) does not want coach Park Hang-seo to be distracted by contract issues while the Vietnamese team is preparing for the 2022 AFF Cup.

“Coach Park Hang-seo"We are focusing on the AFF Cup 2022, we have not had any meetings (about the contract issue) yet" - a VFF leader said. Previously, a source from the VFF said that the VFF will soon have a plan to work with coach Park Hang-seo in October. The content is related to the contract issue between the VFF and Mr. Park, which will expire in January 2023.

Coach Park Hang-seo is aiming to reclaim the championship trophy from Thailand at the AFF Cup 2022.

Previously, some information suddenly emerged that Korea could invite Mr. Park to lead the U20 team of this country if he leaves Vietnamese football. However, VFF confirmed that it has not received any official information related to the above. Most likely, because he is focusing on the Vietnamese team towards the AFF Cup 2022, coach Park Hang-seo will authorize representative Lee Dong-jun to work with VFF as in previous times.

To date, Mr. Park has been associated with Vietnamese football for 5 years. Under the leadership of the Korean coach, the Vietnamese national teams have achieved many achievements, notably the runner-up position at the U23 Asian Cup and the AFF Cup 2018 Championship. After the failure at the AFF Cup 2020, coach Park Hang-seo is now determined to bring the Vietnamese team to reclaim the championship cup from Thailand. For this goal, he is currently urging the VFF to find a solution to bring midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai (Pau FC) to join the Vietnamese team. According to coach Park Hang-seo, Quang Hai is the best attacking player in Vietnam at the moment.

Beckham wants to rescue Ronaldo from MU

Inter Miami is the latest club to join the race for Ronaldo's signature in the 2022/23 mid-season transfer window.

According to AS, David Beckham called Ronaldo to convince him to leave MU and move to Inter Miami. The MLS team is also negotiating with agent Jorge Mendes to find out whether CR7 intends to move to the US.

Beckham's team sees Ronaldo as the ideal option to replace Gonzalo Higuain - who is preparing to retire.

Previously, British media reported that Ronaldo decided to leave MU in the mid-season transfer window. The reason was because CR7 did not accept being a reserve at Old Trafford. Coach Erik ten Hag also approved a plan with the board of directors to be ready to let Ronaldo join a new club if he accepted a suitable offer.

However, not many clubs are willing to recruit Ronaldo. The salary of 550,000 pounds/week that CR7 is receiving at MU is an obstacle. Besides, Ronaldo's form has also declined dramatically compared to a year ago. The Portuguese international wants to join a club that is a strong candidate for the Champions League title this season, but it is almost impossible.

During this summer transfer window, Ronaldo tried every way to leave Old Trafford. However, clubs such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and PSG are said to have said no to Ronaldo.

Since the beginning of the season, Ronaldo has played 6 matches in the Premier League but 5 times from the bench. CR7 has only scored one goal in the Europa League after 9 appearances in all competitions.

Losing to Ho Chi Minh City, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has no chance to win V.League 2022

Answering the press conference after the victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai, coach Vu Tien Thanh of Ho Chi Minh City Club was very excited: “I am very happy with the victory because it has been a long time since I returned to V-League, this is the basis to prepare for the next matches. We needed points so we played at 200% of our strength. The goals were individual efforts but the coordination was not as good as Hoang Anh Gia Lai. When we were down 1-2, the remaining time was really difficult.

Ho Chi Minh City Club has the ability but the situation is at the bottom of the table so it is quite difficult. Weaknesses in defense, cohesion and spirit are being gradually overcome.

I don't think we can think about a higher position because the road ahead is still very difficult. I don't know the result of Ha Tinh yet, but I think we have surpassed Saigon FC to escape the bottom of the table.

Bui Tien Dung played impressively in the victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

In the next stage, if we draw or lose, we will lose our position. Up to now, we still have no other goal than staying in the league, many old players will not be able to play much, continuously, like Lee Nguyen. In my mind, I have calculated for some young players to play, that is the future of Vietnamese football."

Evaluating goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung, Mr. Thanh expressed his satisfaction: “He is a talented goalkeeper, in a few matches he lost concentration, made mistakes but had no one to encourage him so his mentality was not stable. A coach does not simply do tactics on the field, but also needs to create a stable mentality for the players, must be close like a family, then he can understand the psychology of the players… I have worked with 5 foreign coaches, maybe I have learned something from them. I consider that part of my luck”.

Score:

Hoang Anh Gia Lai: Cong Phuong (74')

Ho Chi Minh City: Hoang Thinh (57'), Bygrave (59').
